Chapter 248 – SELENE’S REQUEST (1/2)

CHAPTER 248 – SELENE’S REQUEST

In the capital city of the Aegina Kingdom, Rethim.

Answering to Selene’s ball, I came to the “Summer Palace”, and was guided by a certain man through the hallway that felt full of solemnity.

Abraham.

An Aegina Kingdom Marquis, the royal tutor, Abraham.

A man who was once in charge of Selene’s education and became an enemy during Melina’s rebellion because he felt that Melina had the legitimacy.

After Melina was taken cared of, he returned to Selene.

「Are you doing well with Selene?」

「Yes. Her Highness the Princess seems like a completely different person than before, making us feel somewhat confused」

「I see」

「However, it is a positive change. This is all thanks to Marquis Yuuki」

「I only did what I want」

Selene had the possibility of becoming a good woman, so I lend her a hand.

In fact, I was even about to give up on the super spoiled Selene before.

The reason why the current Selene exists was only because of the good timing of things.

「……」

Abraham who was leading me got silent. I could feel from his presence that he’s hesitating.

「Are you that confused with Selene’s change?」

「Honestly speaking, yes」

Abraham nodded.

「I have once betrayed her, but being unpunished at all is……」

「That is the current Selene」

I answered promptly.

「Although I don’t really know, the royal tutor, the one in charge of the royal family’s education, they are chosen for having the appropriate abilities right?」

「It is stronger in the sense of being an honorary position」

Abraham answered humbly. Of course, I didn’t take his words as it is.

「Someone who possess that much ability, he should be a target of admiration for the current Selene」

「Honestly, the current Princess Her Highness is terrifying. She would accept any suggestions as long as it is legitimate. She is too pure, too uncolored, too untainted. To the extent that if I were compelled to use play on words, I feel that I might be able to take over the kingdom」

I see.

It’s true that the current Selene had that kind of thing.

She’s aware that her own abilities are weak, so she would listen very well to the advice of many people, starting from her subjects.

She would listen to them, even too much.

And Abraham looks worried about that.

「Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen」

「Why is that?」

Abraham looked at me from the side with a questioning look.

I grinned and answered.

「Selene is my woman. Anyone who would try to deceive my woman, do you think I would allow them to exist?」

「……I see」

Abraham furrowed his brows. Was he convinced or not?

Well, it doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter if this guy agrees or not.

Selene is mine. I will wipe out anyone who tries to do harm to my woman.

I’ll only do what I said.

And finally, we arrived at our destination.

It was not the audience room. It was one of the thirty-one rooms in the Summer Palace.

I entered and saw Selene inside.

「Shou!」

Seeing me, Selene ran up to me while calling me in a way that is unique to her.

「Thank you Shou. Thank you for coming」

「Were you a good girl?」

「I don’t know, but I’m studying just like my teachers told me」

「I see」

Her “teachers”, is my other women.

Helene, Rica, Delfina, Nana, Althea……

I sent her many kinds of women and they would teach Selene about many things.

That line-up is the most extravagant in this world.

「And then? Why did you call me here?」

「Un. Actually, I want to ask Shou for help. Abraham, what was it again?」

Selene asked Abraham without looking bad for it at all.

「He〜」

『Hmm, she’s starting to show the dignity of a king huh』

Eleanor who was quiet up until now was impressed.

In the types of the people who would be leaders, there are those who lack the actual ability, yet able to give their subordinates the right job for them.
